Lambert looks pretty shocking 2nd half.

Young should just retire, he is pointless.

I've seen better quality games in L1 tbh.

Wallcott needs to develop a football brain

Kyle walker is horrific.

That's brilliant! I can't believe they have to appeal to get the result overturned..!!!!!

Dear me, comments made by someone who has never, ever, watched him play. He's just bracketed him in the Grant Holt mould.

..

Cortese seems to be going to all sorts of measures to land his targets.

I don't ever understand people who don't count penalties as goals, or just brush them off as not really meaning anything stats wise. If i'm not mistaken, the ball leaves the players foot and ends up in the goal, yes? Therefore he's scored a goal and that adds towards his stats.

I'd imagine he came off to be ready for Tuesdays game, surely? The key is playing your best players, Wiltshire and Cole are 2 of our best players.

From not being able to get in the squad, to now being the striker the nations hope rests on. What a turn of events.

These are terrific quality by the way, a great buy. Good product!

Great, so they're probably putting him in the ''big lump, grant Holt'' category. He's more technically refined and aware than other England strikers to be honest. Frustrating that no one ever actually realizes.

Isn't it great looking at the OS and seeing loads of England articles featuring our players? Lambert, Shaw, JWP, Chambers.....great time to be a saints fan.

There wasn't a ban, they just were told there was no point training with the first team as they weren't in the season plans. Interesting that he has a squad number back though, would indicate he's back to fill the numbers rather than anything else.

It's a possibility, and we do play that - but we are kind of hamstrung without the width of the full backs. Lallana is key in that sort of fluid setup though, when he's on his game he can open a hell of a lot up for us. I think there's still time for a partnership to build up and it's an intriguing one for MP to manage. The talent is certainly there in the front 4, we've just got to somehow make it click.

He certainly wasn't in contention during pre-season and was told he can look for a new club, so interesting. Obviously to fill the void left by Puncheon and the lack of any replacements coming in. Would be interesting to see him in the PL, don't think he's ever played enough for us for anyone to form a solid opinion on him.

Decent player, wouldn't quite call him a legend though! Thought we may have seen a little more of him so far this year, as I was quite impressed with how he played against Soccidad in the Pre-season game.

I think he's going to relish his opportunity on Tuesday, he thrives on big matches and thrives being the main focal point as he's shown with us over the years. I think England may be finding themselves a new hero after this set of internationals.

It's a tricky one, but if you look at how well Lambert played when dropping off tonight, you have to say he has real potential to make a name for himself ''in the hole'' whilst Dani becomes our first choice top end striker. He has a great footballing brain and knows when to pick out a pass. Aware of all that's going on around him. There's no reason why he cannot play in the same team as him, but I don't think they'd both work up top together. I think Rickie would need to play deeper.

2 international games, 2 goals, 1 assist. Pretty good...

So pleased for him, hope he puts in a decent showing and we're not in a position where we fail to win and the entire team is hung up as **** etc. Annoyed at the comments from other clubs ''look at the forward line'' ''have we ever had a worse set of strikers?'' Uneducated idiots.

Based on that, Shaw won't be in the U21 squad for long. He'll be in the full team.

£12m, laughable. Seeing as James McCarthy went for £13m, they're having a laugh.
